ESG Regulations

Everything you need to know. Sustainability is becoming an essential requirement across businesses of all sizes. Even if some of them would like, companies can no longer ignore the increasing number of regulations that are popping up globally.

What are ESG regulations?

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) regulations set the framework for businesses to operate transparently and responsibly. These standards define how companies report on sustainability metrics, comply with ethical guidelines, and manage environmental and social risks. ESG compliance is no longer optional; it’s a business imperative, driven by growing regulatory demands and stakeholder expectations.

The growth of sustainability standards

The landscape of ESG compliance frameworks has expanded by 155% over the last decade, reflecting a surge in global sustainability policies. From the European Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), these frameworks are reshaping industries. However, navigating this regulatory complexity—often described as an ‘alphabet soup’—can be daunting for organizations.

Simplifying ESG compliance for your business

Keeping pace with ESG directives requires clear insights and practical solutions. Understanding which rules apply to your organization and preparing for future compliance is essential to minimizing risk and maintaining competitive advantage. Below, we’ve outlined key ESG regulations that are already influencing business operations and will continue to shape the regulatory environment in the years ahead.
